It's Friday And...

I have a sitter for a date with my hubby.
The kids are not fighting.
The days are in the 80's and the nights in the 50's, with a breeze.
The baby slept through the night.
The Little Mr. gave me a genuine hug last night.
The Little Mr.'s have had a relatively good school week.
The fridge isn't quite empty yet.
We had more than two high schoolers on Tuesday, and they are a good group.
They actually picked up my recycling this week.
The roof is done.
I actually have a dinner plan.
I will get some laundry done, finally.
The leaves are starting to turn.

Today is Friday, and it seems as though all is right with the world.

And yet on another front, there is a local story--at least I think it's local about a little boy, age 6, with Autism, who is being charged with assaulting his school helper. Have we lost our minds? I'll try to find the story link for you later.

I'll also try to get the link to a video about a Fatherhood group that The Mr. is involved with. It's a cool thing. They're talking about the difference between being a father and being a Dad.

I think it's about time we get on the ball with parenting. These little critters we bring into our lives aren't just really cute and expensive play things or snazzy accessories. They are, just as the cliché says, our future. I'm thinking we ought to be a bit more careful about how we treat them and raise them.

Heck, what do I know, I'm just a mom!
